EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by Hugo Wolff-Maage, published in Wilhelm Bolsche's "Prehistoric Life" in 1932, we are transported back in time to the first half of the Mesozoic era, approximately 190 million years ago. The scene depicts a lush, diverse vegetation landscape, teeming with life that would have been familiar to some of the most iconic extinct inhabitants of our planet. The vegetation is a rich tapestry of ferns, horsetails, ginkgos, and cycads, their leaves forming a vibrant green canopy that stretches as far as the eye can see. In the foreground, a protoceratops, a small herbivorous dinosaur, is shown carefully laying eggs in a nest in the Gobi desert. The desert environment, with its arid conditions, is juxtaposed with the verdant vegetation, highlighting the remarkable diversity of habitats during the Mesozoic era. In the background, a marine creature, possibly a plesiosaur, glides gracefully through the water, adding to the richness and complexity of the ecosystem. The illustration is a testament to the incredible variety of life that existed during this time, a period that saw the rise of dinosaurs and other remarkable creatures. This image is a valuable resource for zoologists, paleontologists, and anyone interested in the prehistory of our planet. It offers a glimpse into a world that was vastly different from our own, yet shares many of the same fundamental building blocks of life. The illustration is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying our planet's natural history, as we continue to uncover the mysteries of the past and better understand our place in the world.
